In Science in World History, James Trefil presents a comprehensive, thematic survey of the history of science from its roots in different cultures around the world through to the present day. He explores crucial milestones in scientific development and at the same time examines the enormous social and intellectual changes they initiated. Opening with a discussion of the key elements of modern scientific enterprise, the book goes on to explore the earliest scientific activities, moving through Greece and Alexandria, science in the Muslim world, and then on to Isaac Newton, atomic theory and the major developments of the nineteenth century.
The complexities of electricity are addressed by "standup scientist" Bill Nye in this episode of his celebrated series. Through the use of clever, but very silly, graphics, music videos from his Sounds of Science, and guest scientists, Nye keeps the pace quick, and the discussion lively. He traces electricity down to electrons, and from there to the atoms that are the building blocks of everything. One of the highlights of the show is the performance of "AC/DC Charge," a parody of Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart."
The Rain Forest Animals series support national science standarts related to life science. This book describes and illustrated jaguars that live in the rain forest.
